Looking for Large Side Window Case

LeakingLava · 18-03-2020 12:30AM #1

Hi guys,

Currently looking to freshen up the room with a nice PC case. The requirements are that it should fit a large GPU for future proofing (currently have a GTX 970), and for it to have 6 or more internal 3.5" HDD slots + 1 or 2 internal SSD slots. Also looking for one with a side window. I've been looking around and can barely see any options for decent prices. Amazon can't seem to sort by internal storage space so I'm not sure where else to shop. Mostly looking for information from people with experience therefore the knowledge of which cases would have these specs. Thank you very much!

That's perfect! Thank you!

I've just gone and looked into that search tool and it seems like, either some of the results are inaccurate, or I'm missing something. The search results say that they do up to 6 3.5" bays, but when going into the websites themselves, they are saying a lot less, as in, 2 bays or something similar. Is it that I can buy extra parts to make it to 6 bays or something?

If I'm not missing anything, then it seems like the Fractal Design R6 may be my only option. Thank you very much!

The Fractal Design Define R7 just came out for around the same price (GamersNexus review)

I got a Phanteks Evolv with a good discount a few years ago on the clearance section of overclockers.co.uk and it was perfect.

There's a Fractal Design R6 on there now for £126 now:

I had a quick look at that and that's a very good idea regarding the B-stock. Sadly, both R6's that they have are non-windowed. I will definitely keep an eye on their stock though!

Anyone have any ideas regarding their kolink series? There's one in there that I'm interested in, but would like reviews. Couldn't really find any online apart from one review in Amazon saying 'good case'. I'd like to know if it's fine thermal wise.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro is only £100: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-pro-glass-midi-tower-case-black-ca-075-pt.html

Or maybe this be quiet Dark Base 700 (with CPU cooler) + 3 more HDD cages - more expensive, but ultra quiet.

The be quiet one defninitely looks tempting! Thank you very much! I think I may be going with that one.
